@Yomi_200 @MaltProtocol We are. Thinks been pretty rough IRL for the team which has set us back. But we have been doing a live test with our own capital on a new dex + arbitrage system.

@lexfridman Whats their thoughts on the possibility msft just integrate all Cursor features directly into VSCode via Copilot. What is their pitch to investors to raise money when the platform they forked has infinite money and already has a similar product integrated into it.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@yacineMTB This is best news I’ve heard in a while. Been using aider in tmux split alongside nvim but want inline diffs like cursor. Avante looks great. Thank you

@real_philogy For me:

Correctness > gas > ergonomics >= compile times

Prioritise features that benefit end users first.

Anyone dunking on somebody trying to build something is cringe.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@duck4i @shaiunterslak @MaxBrodeurUrbas @rbehal1729 This is true but 99% of people can’t. You go ahead and build it yourself. The startup still has a big enough market to be profitable. Or you could use their product and spend the few weeks building something else that moves the needle for you. Optionality isn’t bad

@aureliano_law @gakonst I think there is given the `ethers-rs` bindings are deprecated in `forge bind` now

@Sybiliooo @haydenzadams @LeagueOfLegends @riotgames Kernel code is the most privileged code on the computer. It can see and do everything. The code might be fine, but if it’s ever compromised your machine is completely owned and everything you do on it can be known and exploited.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@abishaieth @haydenzadams @LeagueOfLegends @riotgames Opaque kernel level code on your machine is a big no if you care about security. That code ever gets compromised you are in big trouble. The AC isn’t even relevant to the discussion

@Fiskantes Real talk fiction is a golden ticket. You will find so much more “help” in them than in any “self help” book.

Non fiction has to explain explicitly while fiction allows for unimaginable depth between the lines. Trust your ability to intuit between the lines

@embersunn I’ve been CTO on a few occasions, lead dev, founder etc written millions of lines of production code, I have had an Arch machine under my desk for over a decade. I love vim and use it exclusively. I’m all the stereotypes.

I still write most of my code from a MacBook Air.

@banteg The dude’s approach is definitely better than the scope of the spec given. I think if he never claimed what he did was lossless there would be no drama. But pedantry wins

Ultimately it’s dudes like him that push these problem forward.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@pinkopog @focusfronting Very true. I think people are dunking because he still claims it’s lossless.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@KatStijn @focusfronting He may very likely be correct that the noise isn’t important and should be removed. Everyone is dunking on him because of his imprecise language calling it lossless while throwing away a lot of the signal

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@KatStijn @focusfronting Challenge is to compress the signal in a way that you can decompress it to recover the EXACT same signal - that is “lossless”.

He compressed the signal and removed some signal he thinks is noise but still declared it to be lossless because the signal he removed isn’t important

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

@dcinvestor Kenji Lopez’s book “Wok”. Lots of really great recipes with the “why” of everything pretty well explained

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

This is at the core of the thesis behind the new @MaltProtocol system. A dex that that can use the associated stablecoin’s collateral to capture MEV on its own pricing as well as arbitrage against other dexes. Profit goes to increasing collateral and paying LPs

Launching soon

[Alcibiades @0xAlcibiades]

Keeping MEV at the app layer is the way we can start seeing profitable apps again and development with sustainable incentives.

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

Your focus groups will tell you the kids zone out when its hard. So make it less challenging. Ofc the kids dont revel in the challenge immediately. The whole point of difficulty is you sit with it for a bit. Get bored. Get frustrated. Do smtn amazing because you had the time

[0xScotch 🥃 @0xScotch]

Kinda interesting to think about balancing the incentives of companies to make products that sell well against the need for children to engage in challenging things.

It would be hysterical if it turned out we reach AGI because developers putting ascii art diagrams in code to explain algorithms ended up giving LLMs enough training tokens to develop spacial reasoning abilities
